When I boil eggs, I cool them under cold water, which must seep into
the cavity, so I don't find any difference in floatation.
If, however one dry cools an egg, it might lose some water vapor
and be lighter.

So that method doesn't work to  test for raw eggs, unless you know
the cook.

I always put a bit of dried onion skin in the water to color the eggs.
Red onion sometimes makes a pretty yellow.
